I’m a therapist for parents who are in need of support navigating how to help their children thrive. Being a parent is hard, but nobody ever told you how hard it would been when your child is struggling with behavioral, social and emotional difficulties. Finding help for your child can be filled with challenges and uncertainties, leaving you feeling burnt out and alone. However, you don’t have to do this alone. I team up with parents and provide a supportive play therapy environment for children who are struggling to thrive as their best selves.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Pomona, CA provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Pomona build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
